Chapter 234: Encountering Hashirama Senju Once Again, Yuyi Xuan Yue Feels Nothing But Boredom
Chapter 234: Encountering Hashirama Senju Once Again, Yuyi Xuan Yue Feels Nothing But Boredom
As the mighty aura of the Shinra Tensei dissipated, a massive crater with a diameter of one kilometer appeared on the ground.
At the center of the crater lay a dark cave, once buried deep underground and hidden by the lush green forest.
But now, it lay exposed to the sunlight.
As far as the eye could see, the forest, the serpentine remains, the rocks, and everything else within the cave had completely melted away like snow under the sun.
In their place were layers upon layers of compacted soil that had been squeezed in from elsewhere.
Bang!
Amid the dust and debris, Hashirama Senju, his body covered in cracks, stepped out from the wooden mask that had been created by the Poppu technique.
A little further away, a battered and tattered Orochimaru crawled out of the mud. His mouth opened, and a newly regenerated version of himself emerged, covered in viscous fluid and looking as good as new, with his previous injuries completely healed.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, slowly descending from the air, glanced at Orochimaru before turning his gaze toward Hashirama Senju.
He was not too surprised to see the latter make another appearance.
From Kabuto Yakushi's memories, he had already learned about Orochimaru's restored hands.
Regardless of the method used, since Orochimaru could retrieve his soul from the grasp of death, it was only natural that he would also attempt to free the sealed Kage.
"It's been a while, Hashirama," Yuyi Xuan Yue nodded slightly to Hashirama Senju and said calmly.
How could he remain calm?
Over the past year, he had summoned Hashirama Senju countless times using the imperfect version of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, and even though Hashirama had no consciousness, they had fought so many battles that Yuyi Xuan Yue had become all too familiar with him.
Unless the Hashirama Senju who stood before him now was in his peak condition from the Valley of the End, Yuyi Xuan Yue would not be stirred to fight with true zeal.
As for now, he could only muster the politeness due to a familiar acquaintance.
"Xuan Yue," Hashirama Senju replied, his tone reflecting the turmoil within, especially upon seeing Yuyi Xuan Yue's purple spiral eyes, which were different from what he had seen before.
He felt like he had heard of those eyes somewhere before, but he couldn't quite recall where.
At that moment, Orochimaru stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with greed and desire as he gazed at Yuyi Xuan Yue's true Rinnegan. He explained to Hashirama Senju, "That is the Rinnegan, the legendary Sage's Eyes."
Hashirama Senju's expression trembled.
"The Rinnegan... I never thought that such legendary eyes truly existed. Xuan Yue has actually unlocked them!"
Given Yuyi Xuan Yue's extraordinary talent, Hashirama Senju's first thought was that he had developed the Rinnegan.
Hearing this, Orochimaru shook his head with a chuckle. "Unlock? No, no, no! Yuyi Xuan Yue did not unlock the Rinnegan. He took those Rinnegan eyes from someone else."
"Not only has Yuyi Xuan Yue forcefully taken the Rinnegan, but he also intends to seize control of Konoha, the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and the entire ninja world!"
Having resurrected an uncontrollable version of Hashirama Senju, Orochimaru naturally sought to protect his own life by vilifying Yuyi Xuan Yue.
However, what he said was true to some extent.
Hashirama Senju's expression remained unchanged as he listened.
Ever since he had witnessed Yuyi Xuan Yue break free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique and then met him again after his full resurrection, he had known that the ninja world would be plunged into immense turmoil upon Yuyi Xuan Yue's return to power.
And now, it seemed that the turmoil had already begun.
"Xuan Yue, may I ask what your goal is?" Hashirama Senju asked, looking intently at Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Indeed, he felt bored.
No matter how many times they fought, it always ended up being against the same few opponents.
Fighting them in life and then having to do it again in death.
That was tolerable.
But to see himself continually progressing while his opponents remained stagnant or even regressed made for unstimulating battles.
Yuyi Xuan Yue shook his head.
Compared to previous encounters, his enthusiasm was lacking at this moment as he said, "Hashirama, if you're thinking of a way to resurrect yourself right now, I'd be interested in chatting more. But since you're content with your current state of death, there's no need to inquire about the affairs of the living world."
"From whence you came, there you shall return. Forget it, I'll send you back."
Aware that this conversation would take a while at its current pace, Yuyi Xuan Yue, mindful of his original purpose, casually extended his hand:
"Banbutsu Sozo!"
A terrifying suction force erupted from his palm.
Orochimaru and Hashirama Senju, the targets of this ability, were unable to resist and were pulled towards Yuyi Xuan Yue in an instant.
"Xuan Yue,"
Hashirama Senju, sensing that this reencounter with Xuan Yue had brought about significant changes, finally focused his gaze and called out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless thick wooden stakes rapidly extended from his body, anchoring into the ground and bringing him to an abrupt halt.
Orochimaru, quick as lightning, grabbed onto the nearest wooden stake, arresting his body's backward momentum.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, noticing this, casually altered the power emanating from his palm:
"Shinra Tensei!"
Boom!
A violent shockwave once again swept towards the two of them.
First, suction, then repulsion.
When these two opposing forces acted upon their bodies almost simultaneously, Orochimaru felt as if his internal organs were being tossed around in a washing machine, causing him to vomit mouthfuls of blood as his body tumbled backward like a broken rag doll.
Hashirama Senju fared better.
Although his body couldn't stop retreating, he still had the capacity to observe Yuyi Xuan Yue's movements.
Noticing that Yuyi Xuan Yue was approaching, Hashirama, while still being flung backward, forcefully clapped his hands together and declared:
"Mokuton: Kajuji no Jutsu!"
Countless trees sprouted from the crevices in the ground, rapidly growing and expanding while gigantic flowers blossomed from the branches, releasing enough paralyzing pollen to knock out anyone who inhaled it. The pollen was about to blanket the entire area.
Yuyi Xuan Yue, still in the cooldown phase of Shinra Tensei, continued striding forward, a blue eye shadow appearing at the corner of his eyes.
"Senpo: Hyogeki no Jutsu!"
Crackle~ Crackle~
In an instant, circles of ice carrying endless cold surged outwards from Yuyi Xuan Yue like raging waves.
Wherever they passed, not only the pollen that was already in the air but even the bacteria and viruses invisible to the naked eye were completely frozen and solidified.
Soon, the flowering trees that had just borne fruit transformed into an icy wonderland.
Even with the unique properties of Wood Release, it was helpless in the face of this absolute zero temperature.
"Sage Jutsu?!"
Not far away, Hashirama Senju watched this scene unfold with astonishment.
As someone who also possessed mystical techniques, he couldn't help but recognize the sage chakra emanating from the Ice Destruction Technique.
He quickly turned his gaze towards Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Indeed, there was now a trace of blue eye shadow at the corners of his eyes, indicating the activation of Sage Mode.
Although it was slightly different from his own, it was undoubtedly the power of a sage.
"As expected of Yuyi Xuan Yue!"
Hashirama Senju couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
